2016 Mandera hotel attack

The 2016 Mandera hotel attack occurred on 25 October 2016 when the Somalian al-Shabaab militant group attacked a small guesthouse in the town of Mandera, Kenya on the Somali border. The al-Shabaab attackers killed at least 12 Kenyans in the attack, including two members of Pearls Quality Edutainment, a traveling group of actors that had been attacked three times before by the group. The attack occurred on the same day as an attack on a Djiboutian base in Somalia during the Somali Civil War.
